While reading an article this morning on Ben Bernanke's upcoming meeting with congress I noticed something interesting in the article. The four "impacts" mentioned were "Stocks", "Bonds", "Gold", and "The Dollar." Though you all might find the article interesting, even though we should be keeping a longer term view than just one meeting with congress it helps to reaffirm the ideas that Harry was right when he picked those four assets.
